All House of Representatives members from Enugu State have formally defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah attended the plenary.

The defectors said they decided to dump their former parties due to what they described as unresolved internal crises threatening the stability of the opposition parties.

After the 2023 general election, the Labour Party won seven of the eight House of Representatives seats in Enugu State, while the PDP secured one.

With the latest development, the APC now controls the entire Enugu caucus in the House of Representatives.
